What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 11 controls across 4 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

ISO 27001:2022 · 4 controls

  • 5.29 Information security during disruption
  • 8.14 Redundancy of information processing facilities
  • 8.20 Networks security
  • 8.22 Segregation of networks

  • 5.29 Information security during disruption
  • 8.14 Redundancy of information processing facilities
  • 8.20 Networks security
  • 8.22 Segregation of networks

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 · 2 controls

  • NIST800-SC-24 Fail in Known State. Fail to a [organization-defined] for the following failures on the indicated components while preserving [organization-defined] in failure: [organization-defined]
  • NIST800-SR-9 Tamper Resistance and Detection. Implement a tamper protection program for the system, system component, or system service

SOC 2 · 1 control

  • SOC2-CC6.6 Measures against threats outside system boundaries are implemented

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.

Other controls in SC - System and Communications Protection

You are reading one control. How much of FedRAMP High have you already done?

FedRAMP High SC-7(18) is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of FedRAMP High your existing evidence covers. Hold C5 (Germany) and 119 of 410 FedRAMP High controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 6 were rejected on the C5 (Germany) pair alone.
